iPhone 8 running iOS 14.0.1 & Sky Demon 3.14.4.260

iPad mini 4 updated to iOS 14.0.1 & Sky Demon 3.14.4.260

Both connecting to Pilot Aware with no problems using UDP without previously connecting via Flarm TCP )

Thanks to all for suggestions and fixes.  (Especially, I suspect, team at SD).

Hi Peter,
             It might be a few days before I am at the airfield again. (Rosetta lives in the ‘plane as it is jointly owned). Nervous about updating iPad as it is my primary navigation aid (after chart and mk 1 eyeball of course).  The success with iPhone gives me some confidence......
iPad still running SD 3.14.3.258. Can’t see a way of forcing it to update other than delete and reinstall App. Unless it needs iOS 14 to prompt an update?
Will feed back in a few days when I try it.

My SD on iPhone 8 just updated to 3.14.4.260 and iOS to 14.0.1 and all connected with no problems. (With a few "conditions" which you have to accept on SD).
Not sure if it was the SD update or the iOS update which fixed it. Although previous post suggests it wasn't iOS 14.0.1

iPad mini 4  running iOS 13.7 and SD 3.14.3.258 still connects no problem.

Have I the nerve to update iPad to iOS 14

Thanks Lee.  Yes I've been following the Sky Demon forum you suggest.  Didn't seem to fix it for me.  I will get the Rosetta out of the plane and try again as it seems fixed for others.

The promised feedback.
Rosetta updated to 20200906, "Device Connection Settings" set to "Pilot Aware UDP", password protection applied.
Flew yesterday and had absolutely no problems connecting to PAW either outbound or return legs.Not sure which change fixed it but seems sorted!
iPad mini 4  ios 13.7, running Sky Demon 3.14.3.258 & PAW 20200906

However as in previous post iPhone will not connect Sky Demon to PAW!

Similar problems here.
iPad mini 4 running ios 13.7 and Sky Demon 3.14.3.258 connects to Pilot Aware no problem.

iPhone 8 running ios 14 and Sky Demon 3.14.3.258 will not connect to Pilot Aware. Just "hangs".
iPhone will connect to Pilot Aware (192.168.1.1) so appears to be a Sky Demon/ios 14 issue rather than iPhone issue.  Sky Demon works fine on "location services".

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks to PaulSS and Gary for responding to my post.  I do check the iPad is connected to PAW when I have the connection issue, so that is not the problem.
I am intrigued that a password may be the answer.  Unfortunately, as I said, our plane is in Germany for a week or so at present so I am not able to check out that theory.  When it returns I will upgrade the Rosetta software and install a password and see what happens............ I will report back.

To correct a minor error in my previous post.  I use an iPad MINI 4.  jrb

May I add a few comments as I suffer the same issue. I fly a Robin DR400 using Sky Demon running on an iPad 4 using IOS 13.6.1 and Pilot Aware Rosetta running last year's (2019) software upgrade.
ALWAYS on the outbound leg of a trip the iPad connects seamlessly to Rosetta.  ALWAYS on the return leg it refuses to connect and I am left with the hanging message as in this thread.
The only answer is to use Location Services and fly back without the benefit of Rosetta.
Interestingly on a recent trip away where the plane was parked for two consecutive nights away the same thing happened on our return, although it was the first flight of the day!! The only thing was we were away from base.....Explain that!!
On all legs the location of Rosetta and the iPad are identical and are in line of sight to each other about one metre apart. A stable power supply is feeding the Rosetta.
The only thing I haven't tried is to connect to Rosetta with Sky Demon on my iPhone 8.  I will try this in the future.
I have tried most things suggested in this forum including firing up Rosetta first, waiting, then starting up Sky Demon.  Nothing I have tried works.
I have just upgraded IOS to 13.7 on the iPad and downloaded the latest software from PAW.  When the plane returns from Germany I will try with this new software and see what happens.
Any comments from Pilot Aware developers would be welcome.  It is potentially a great bit of kit being spoiled, at present, by this problem.
